Asked if he’d seen the bullies since, Olly said: ‘I haven’t. I have thought about them sometimes and I wonder where they are now and I’d be interested in maybe talking to them about what they were like at school and what they feel about having bullied somebody.

‘I think it usually comes from a place of damage or vulnerability doesn’t it. But no I haven’t seen any of them.’

Olly has been vocal about his struggles with his sexuality, explaining how he’s voicing his story to encourage others to speak out who might be in a similar situation.

He added: ‘I think one of the reasons I am so vocal about everything I’ve been through – it’s if I can do this, anybody can. And it’s about using your voice to encourage other people to speak about their experiences and what they’re going through.

‘That’s been the most amazing thing which has happened over this whole process is the honesty and the openness I’ve experienced with other people who’ve watched the documentary and want to share something with me.’

Asked what he’d say to others feeling vulnerable over their sexuality, Olly said: ‘Firstly, you’re not alone. Especially for me, I felt like I couldn’t speak about what I was going through, I was too scared.

‘I just felt like I had to keep it all in and the thing I wish I’d done sooner was talk to somebody… Remember you’re not alone.’
